Anyone up for a ride?
A few years back I was given a 1986 Trek 600 road bike. Little did I know how expensive of a hobby I was getting into. It wasn't a bad bike. Reynolds 853 frame, shimano 105 downtube shifters, a million pound wheelset. It wasn't a dream bike, by any means, but it was enough. I was hooked on the sport. Being in the middle of my studies at the University, recently married, and living in the wonderful world of Aggie Village, I knew it would be awhile until I could afford anything better. Here and there, I made some upgrades. My wonderful brother-in-law donated an old wheelset to the cause, I tried to prevent the steel from rusting out with a kermit green paint job, some small upgrades to the cockpit. It did the job. I'm not sure how many miles I put on it in the past few years, or how many miles were put on before my time with it. It never had a name--unlike another bike of mine--it was just "Josh's roadie". Some time along the way, Krissey promised me a new roadie when I finished school.
Sometimes I wondered if it would ever be a reality, upon finishing school and moving out of state, the realization of life made me wonder if I should really splurge and get the bike. I would drag Krissey from shop to shop, test riding bikes. She would joke how she could tell me which bikes I preferred by the smile on my face coming back from the test ride. (btw, if anyone ever wonders why people like myself have a fascination with road bikes, go to YLBS and test ride one, they'll be more than happy to let you ride, even if you have no intentions of buying) Before moving, I sold the beast of steel to a friend, leaving me with only ONE bike...until yesterday. Meet my new ride:

2 Months
Well it is a little late, but Londyn's 2 month stats were weight: 10lbs 12oz which put her in the 50th percentile and height: 23 1/2 inches that was the 80th percentile. Her height certainly did not come from me or Josh so she must be getting her height from both her grandpas. We can't believe how much she has grown and love having her in our home. She is so bright and learning new things each day. Her latest obsession is her hands and feet. She hates taking naps, but sleeps really well at night. She always wants to be where everyone else is and not miss out on anything(hence, the no nap taking) and she loves to talk and smile. I have a feeling we are going to have our hands full with this little one!
